The Retirement Housing sector is seeing unprecedented interest and recognition of the vital role it can play in addressing some of the biggest issues we face in the UK, namely the housing crisis and demographic timebomb of increasing care needs. The Social Care White Paper shows that Government has got the message that “every decision about care is also a decision about housing. We will continue to work across government to explore options to support and incentivise market growth, including ways to give developers greater clarity, investors more confidence and provide consumers with the necessary protections”. Our conference in September will be the ideal opportunity to hear how this increased focus from Government is beginning to play out in practice.
